Wow!

I was sitting here thinking about how, on Wednesday, Andy and I will have been married 3 years. 3 years and I am pregnant with our 3rd child. Wow! I can't believe how lucky and truly blessed I am (even amid all the chaos!)!

We have sick little munchkins again. I took both of them to the doctor today. Colton has had a runny nose and today it went from clear to yellow/green and he is all congested. Nora just started with the runny nose. Turns out Nora has a cold (but the Dr. wrote me a script for antibiotics in case she doesn't get better) and Colton has a sinus infection. Poor guy takes after his mama.

I'm sure the lack of sleep isn't helping, but boy are my hormones really out of whack with this pregnancy. I've teared up and cried at the weirdest things: the movie UP!, a commercial, a music video...the list goes on. I don't remember being nearly this bad with the munchkins.

I don't know where this year has gone. I have 18 days left in my 20s. Unlike a lot of people, I am looking forward to my 30s and can't wait. My 20s were so good to me, especially the last half, that I can't wait to see what my 30s have in store for me!

There are only 32 days left until Christmas! We ordered the munchkins big gift. It's a Little Tikes Endless Adventure Tikes Town Playhouse.

One side is a school house, one is a gas station, one has a basketball hoop and soccer net, the other is a grocery store. We think it will be a great toy for inspiring imagination play. I think Andy and I are more excited about it now than the kids will be. I also like that it is something that will grow with them and the next one can use too. We got them a couple other small things and they are getting a bunch of clothes (that they would be getting regardless of whether it was Christmas or not). I'm not sure what all we will wrap for them of the clothes. They have so much fun opening packages, but I don't want them to be overwhelmed either.

Well, we've decided to bite the bullet (I was ready a while ago) and we are looking at minivans. We are debating which kind. I love the Toyota Sienna, but I honestly haven't really looked at any others. I've been really happy with my Toyota and love the dealership that I deal with. Andy figures we will get one the end of December or in January. We'll let you know what we decide on!

Full of surprises!

As my dear auntie pointed out, it has been WAY too long since I have updated my blog. Life has been chaotic and full of surprises in the Dickerson household. The munchkins are growing like weeds and getting into everything. They are both getting better about signing and have started giving hugs and blowing kisses alot more. They had a blast trick-or-treating for the first time. Nora had the routine down after 2 houses and would get really excited as we started to approach a house. Colton decided towards the end that he wanted to sit down on one of our neighbor's porches and start going through his bucket. Here are some pics of them all dressed up:

The last 2 months have also been full of surprises. Some surprises you just have to see to believe, and even then you still aren't sure you believe it. Take a look at the picture below and you might understand:

Are you sure you are ready???

Positive?

Wait for it....

Yep, we thought we were done with 2, but apparently God had other plans for us! Nora and Colton are getting a baby brother or sister. I just had an ultrasound this morning. We originally thought I might be 10 weeks and due May 31st, but turns out I am only 8weeks and 1day and due June 13th. We will know more when I see my OB next Monday. After all we went through to have Nora and Colton, this pregnancy definitely came as a BIG surprise, but you can't get a better surprise than this! Now you know why it has taken so long to post. I don't think I could have written anything without spilling the beans! (Do you forgive me Aunt Margie? :-))
